I routinely tow my 32' 10,000 boat at 75mph but I also have my trailer balanced perfectly. And my truck is heavy.
There are alot of variables to consider when towing. The weight placement on your trailer, brakes on it, brakes on your tow vehicle, weight of tow vehicle, experience, etc.... It's real easy to have a trailer go out of control on you. Ive towed the boat with my Bronco, and my old f150 ( Very, very short moves) both have electric brake set up, but it still was a ***** to stop. 6x12 is not a huge trailer, it just takes loading it properly and getting the feel of it.
